Jonnu Smith (TE, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Smith’s three catches for 27 yards in Week 7 would be decent for many tight ends, yet it was his worst effort of the season. That is saying a lot for Smith considering he is the No. 2 TE on his own […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie Jalin Hyatt was targeted five times, catching two of those passes for 75 yards.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The rookie running back out of East Carolina got his first career NFL snaps in Baltimore's Week 7 pounding of the Detroit Lions. Mitchell earned just one touch, taking a shovel pass for nine yards. Unfortunately, the explosive back whose pro career […]

Gardner Minshew (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We now know Anthony Richardson is done for the year now that he has gotten surgery on his injured shoulder. That means that Gardner Minshew will have the green light for the remainder of the season and finds himself in a solid situation. The Colts have […]

New York Jets Defense (D/ST) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Jets entered the 2023 season as legitimate Super Bowl contenders after adding Aaron Rodgers, but we all know what happened next.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Wilson Jr. was designated for return from injured reserve (rib/finger) on October 11 which presented the potential for him to make his season debut in Week 6.

Derek Carr (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints aren’t having the best season, but Derek Carr is still airing the ball out and putting up empty yards (which is perfectly fine for fantasy football). The veteran quarterback has three games with 300+ yards passing, including each of his […]

Miami Dolphins Defense (D/ST) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Make sure to check your waiver wires for the Dolphins defense. At less than 50% rostered, Miami qualifies as a streamer, and they are easily one of the best streamers of Week 8. In Week 7, Miami put fantasy managers in the precarious position […]

Jonathan Mingo (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jonathan Mingo has yet to have that one big game, but his snap share, route participation, and target total indicate that the game is coming. He left Week 3 early due to a concussion, but in Weeks 1-2 and Weeks 5-6 […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I was high on Cooks coming into the season and through six games (the Cowboys were on bye in Week 7), Dallas played very few "normal" games. They've played just one game that finished with a score differential of 10 points or […]

Wan'Dale Robinson (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Since returning to action in Week 3, Robinson has seen at least five targets in four straight contests prior to this past weekend.

Devin Singletary (RB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The recent avalanche of developments that have impacted the running back landscape might have obscured the significant rise in Singletary’s involvement during Houston’s Week 6 matchup with New Orleans. The fifth-year back had been averaging 21.2 snaps, 6.8 attempts, and 23.8 rushing […]

Emari Demercado (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: He was a waiver wire darling last week, but the team opted to go with Damien Williams as the lead back. However, this past weekend they moved back to Demercado. He led the team's backfield in snaps, playing 53 of the team's 66 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kareem Hunt came into the Browns' Week 7 game nursing a hamstring injury.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Damien Harris currently finds himself on IR, which leaves the Buffalo backfield to just James Cook and Latavius Murray.

Elijah Mitchell (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: By all accounts, it seems as though Christian McCaffrey is going to play tonight. Based on recent reports, there is very little doubt about that. However, he is reportedly dealing with a slight tear to one of his oblique muscles. Considering the running back […]

Roschon Johnson (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With as well as D'Onta Foreman has played over the past two weeks, the breakout potential for Johnson seems to have evaporated. With the production Foreman has provided, fantasy managers shouldn't expect a workhorse role for Johnson once he returns from his concussion, a […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. (RB, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers are both on IR and will miss the next three weeks. The team clearly does not trust sixth-round rookie, Zach Evans. They opted to sign Henderson off the street and signed Royce Freeman from their practice squad. Despite not having been with […]

Desmond Ridder (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Over the past three weeks, Desmond Ridder has scored 13.8 (Week 7), 16.1 (Week 6), and 26.1 (Week 5) points. While the 13.8 looks disappointing, he did lose three fumbles. It's highly unlikely he's going to continue having three lost fumbles. If we […]

Kyler Murray (QB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cardinals have been surprisingly competitive through seven weeks with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback. Arizona made Murray one of their team captains this season, an act that would seem to indicate he's likely to play in 2023. You'll find a few players who […]

Michael Mayer (TE, LV) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Mayer only caught two passes for 13 yards in Las Vegas’ embarrassing Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears, but the lack of numbers can be blamed on veteran seat-filler Brian Hoyer being the one throwing many of the passes. Mayer has […]

Taysom Hill (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Taysom Hill is no longer a gadget quarterback disguised as a tight end, fantasy folks! He is a bonafide pass catcher and has been handling his tight end duties with the Saints like he has played there all his NFL life. Hill […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The good news is Gerald Everett has taken advantage of Mike Williams’ season-ending knee injury by scoring touchdowns in back-to-back games while emerging as a Justin Herbert favorite. The bad news is Everett suffered a quadriceps injury in the Week 7 game […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers in your league might forget about Schultz since he was silent due to his bye last week.
